Hey guys, it's 2011 not 2015.

Expectations for a rookie QB and new staff have been unreasonable.

I wouldn't be surprised to slip in to a playoff spot but that would likely result in Reich being a contender for coach of the year.

Vegas number is 7.5

This will be a losing season, just like 2011 was.

The fun in it is that we get to watch a young team grow into what we hope will be a playoff team. 

By year 3 I suspect we will be there.

Disagree.  2011 came after 1-15 season. 
 

We didn’t earn the #1 pick this year, we traded up from #9 to get Bryce Young after finishing 7-10 and second in NFC South. 
 

My expectations are more 2013. Playoff appearance.

Agree. 

You guys have to be honest with yourselves, we’re not that good. 
 

Our WR position currently is quite poor until some of these young guys step up.
OG position is a question mark, Christensen is better at the swing OT position and Cade Mays is an unproven 6th rounder.

We have no depth at the 3-4 D-line spot, we had to sign street guys like Nick Thurmond and Taylor Stallworth for Christ sake 

Be realistic

This. We EARNED that #1 pick we spent on Cam. We completely sucked. We were the worst team in the league. We traded up from #9 to get Bryce at #1 and we played much better in the 2nd half of the season after firing Rhule. Some folks around here had unrealistic expectations talking about being the favorites to win the division, etc. But I honestly don't think it was unreasonable to expect this to be a middle of the pack team that could at least be in a position to have a shot at competing for a playoff berth. At least good enough not to repeat the time honored Huddle tradition of shifting to primarily talking about the draft by Halloween.

No way to sugarcoat it. Yesterday was seriously disappointing. Does it matter? Was it a harbinger if things to come? We'll have to wait and see. But it was definitely a splash of cold water on enthusiasm.

I mean, I don't know how you guys can realistically expect the playoffs with everything so new, but more power to you. If this were a normal year in a normal division, we wouldn't be sniffing the playoffs. Every team in our division is supposed to make for a weak division, much like last season, but there are scenarios where that may not be true (and if history is our guide, it won't be true). That being said, we are basically the newest kid on the block so to speak. I would say that the Saints (if not the Falcons), are supposed to be farther along the curve than we are. There's a lot of inexperience with our team.

We seem to forget year after year that way too much stock is put into meaningless preseason games. Yes we have plenty to work on and plenty of guys need to step up. Yes, there will be plenty of bumps in the road. And yes, this team will be in contention for a playoff birth the entire season. If Bryce stays healthy and continues his developmental trajectory, we will have a winning record. Hot takes about preseason games are pointless but we have fun discussing it all until the real games start.

I don't agree about our receiving corps. Young guys, evev the ones that that have had zero opportunities to step up doesn't automatically equal to poor; inexperience simply means that they haven't had the opportunity to show off their full potential. Plus, we have a couple of talented vets, not to mention a pass-catching TE that can't be taken for granted.

2-14. Don’t disrespect that Fox’s worst season was better than Seiferts worst.

I find it funny people on here are using a bad preseason game to get drunk like it is the real season and we are hopelessly terrible. 
People need to get their priorities straight.

Sorry but gonna have to strongly disagree here. We’re coming off a 7 win season not a 2 win season, and our 2 biggest weaknesses we’re coaching and QB both of which we upgraded significantly. In this division I think anything short of a playoff appearance is a disappointment.

      I quite literally did not use AI, I hate that poo. LLM's are for nitwits who can't search. You have zero idea what you are talking about.

      Your numbers aren't correct. All AI generated: 1. you admit both AJ and Devonta are sub 4.5 guys. 2. Jaxon Smith-Njigba's unofficial 40-yard dash time was 4.48 seconds at his 2023 Ohio State Pro Day, though some scouts clocked him slightly faster (around 4.46-4.52), with a goal of 4.47, showcasing his agility despite not running at the NFL Combine. He excelled in short-area quickness drills, with a 6.57-second 3-cone drill and 3.93-second 20-yard shuttle.  3. Marvin Harrison Jr.'s 40-yard dash time is often reported in the low 4.4-second range, with specific unofficial times varying from 4.39 to 4.49 seconds, though he didn't officially run at the 2024 NFL Combine, with reports based on his impressive game speed and pro day figures suggesting exceptional speed for his size. He himself aimed for the high 4.3s, and scouts were buzzing about his elite speed, with some sources citing a 4.42 or even a faster 4.39 from other sources.   4. Bourne and Jennings are the 3 and 4 in SF. They were not slated as 1 and 2 before injuries. Ricky Pearsall ran an official 4.41-second 40-yard dash at the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine, showcasing impressive speed and athleticism that contributed to his first-round selection by the San Francisco 49ers.  Brandon Aiyuk ran a 4.50-second 40-yard dash at the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine, though his team and coaches noted he played faster in pads and his time was impacted by a recent core muscle surgery, with some believing his true speed was better than that number suggested, similar to how Jerry Rice played faster than his combine time. Ran a 4.5 after core muscle surgery. He's definitely a sub 4.5 guy.   5. Agree with Adams and Puka. They are the only other example. Really good frigging example for your argument. But the only ones.  6. Jameson Williams is a speed demon. No way he runs more than a 4.4.
